We had an awesome time helping them in the booth and then going out to dinner. The food at Mimi's Cafe was delicious and i think we all foundered on the vast array of bread they placed on the table before the meal. Of course no dinner was complete without having an appetizer of fried pickles! Thanks for all the fun Libby! I can't wait until we can meet up again! :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259773458102106338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/SP54F7k0OOI/AAAAAAAAAMk/k0zvOOhjFqI/s320/ckcKClibbymomandme.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259773460320965762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/SP54GD11VII/AAAAAAAAAMs/_QtTDEfsUL0/s320/ckcKCrustypickledirtyhands.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259773469987742930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/SP54Gn2kpNI/AAAAAAAAAM0/gVeOF9uVAb0/s320/ckcKCpicklesatmimis.JPG" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>After we got home i got all my things in order so i could have my surgery on Oct 15th.

I have finally gotten the cobwebs down and shoooed away all the critters..........sprayed the musty smell with Lysol and i think we are back in business! Yep, that should do it!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Didn't realize i haven't posted since May! Alot has happened since then. </div><br /><div>My youngest nephew Tyler celebrated his first birthday.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>His brother Jacob had his 4th birthday and started preschool!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I got promoted to Scrap DT Coordinator at Memories From The Attic! (thank you Jeri)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My husband took me to Memphis for our 10th anniversary and got us a super luxurious room at the Westin Hotel.........totally spoiled me! ( i will never look at Motel 6 the same way! I don't care if they do leave the light on for ya!) We had a wonderful time visiting Sun Studios, Graceland and exploring Beale Street.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>School has started and my 11 year old Dalton has made it to the 6th grade. He officially outgrew everything he owned, and is now wearing 29 x 29 jeans and a size 6 1/2 shoe! Good Grief! I think i might be raising the Jolly Green Giant!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We spent Labor Day in Branson enjoying the sites and visiting with my Father and Mother In Law. The boys played in the pool while Mother in Law and I went shopping! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now that fall has arrived, the days are cooler and the leaves are changing........Yesterday was our Pumpkin Fest in town. Lots of good food, friends and activities for the whole day. I hope they do it again next year!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>And lastly, apparently the surgery i had last fall was not enough. I am scheduled for another on October 15th and i most certainly hope that it is the last. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Take care all and stop by when you can............i'll try and be better about keeping the cobwebs out of the door so you can get in!</div>I leave you with a little funny............<br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253727604182725922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/SOj9a6n5tSI/AAAAAAAAAIg/8hhsI1tqxvY/s320/catteeth.jpg" border="0" /></div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627623693566534330noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718087.post-35501798878854120292008-05-28T06:09:00.001-07:002008-05-28T06:14:11.808-07:00Are you feeling chatty???<a href="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m280/rag_muffin/AnimatedGifAttic.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m280/rag_muffin/AnimatedGifAttic.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m280/rag_muffin/smDT-BLINKIE.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div>Then come on over and join us Thursday May 29th at 8pm Central time for a scrap chat with Leah Fung!!!

I have kept all of this months happenings too myself, and i finally have time to let them out!<br /><div><div><br /><div>My mom celebrated her 50th birthday the end of February. We had a party for her at a local restaurant, surrounded by her girlfriends and family, complete with Elvis on her cake! She reported that she thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn't mind to be half a century. I hope i have the same attitude when i reach that milestone.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183600213605617394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_Y7i2aDvI/AAAAAAAAAHw/yIStfccJ1io/s320/bloggerelviscake.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183600217900584706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_Y7y2aDwI/AAAAAAAAAH4/2ay6bym5aGM/s320/blogger50nfabulous.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><p>The week after mom's birthday, we were hit with a rather hefty snow storm. School was closed for almost a week, as we received a sheet of ice before the snow fell. I missed a few days of work. (MUCH NEEDED DAYS OFF I ASSURE YOU!) Russ and Dalton spent the early part of one day perfecting thier snowballs to errect a Wide Eyed, Big Mouthed Snowman. Our dog Jerry even offered to decorate the bottom with some coloring, but was quickly diverted! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183603911572459282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_cSy2aDxI/AAAAAAAAAIA/QbTP2aOiYZs/s320/bloggersnow.JPG" border="0" /></p></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183603915867426594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_cTC2aDyI/AAAAAAAAAII/apV6Yr9zTJw/s320/bloggersnowman.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><p>The next week we got another round of snow and it seemed we would be permanently stuck in the winter cycle all year. The weather men assured us that spring would indeed come, we just needed to be patient. Boy did it arrive with a BANG!!! 13 count 'em 13 INCHES OF RAIN IN 2 DAYS!! This of course created severe flooding. The local rivers crested at 17ft above flood stage, several highways were closed, the campgrounds/parks were inaccesible, and one of the highways i drive on a weekly basis split down the middle. The Highway Department expects it to be closed all summer due to that side of the mountain being unstable. They aren't sure yet what the plan is going to be to remedy the situation. The waters have now receded nearly to normal, but the rain started again today. So we are waiting to see how much the already saturated ground can take. Below are some pictures we took before the roads became completely impassible. The picture of the highway splitting was taken before it completely split and slid off the side of the hill.</p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183608812130144050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_gwC2aDzI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/y7aIZtEHiA4/s320/roadsplit1.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183608812130144066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R-_gwC2aD0I/AAAAAAAAAIY/ktINeegAnqI/s320/roadsplit2.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Anyone who would like to have some rain, please e-mail me and i'll put in a good word for you with the weathermen! I wouldn't want to be a glutton and keep it all for myself! *wink*</p><p>I know i was long winded today.........thanks for hanging in there with me, and maybe next week i will get around to uploading some picks of Easter!

Sorry. I have no excuse other than i have been bloggin' lazy.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Lot's of stuff going on as usual. If you frequent the scrappy boards with me, you know we have had a plethura of ice and generally yucky weather the past week. We have not quite finished the clean up process, and are now bracing ourselves for another round to begin on Thursday. It was not a total loss, however. I did get to snap some beautiful pictures! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168930473094896130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R7u64Q2DWgI/AAAAAAAAAGw/2fOpvkdQ0m4/s320/cardinal-summersville+mo.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168930481684830738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_NqrRkxLoY_A/R7u64w2DWhI/AAAAAAAAAG4/GP4W7HCwj1g/s320/PineTreeSummersvilleMO.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p>Before the nasty weather hit we partied! My baby boy........ahem, Pre-Teen, turned 11! Hubby took him and a friend to play paintball after school on the Friday before his birthday. On Saturday we celebrated with family and friends in Dukes of Hazzard Fashion! Hubby snapped off a pic of me and my sis........it's nice to be in front of the camera ocassionally, instead of behind it! Although it would have been nicer had we not been surrounded by food. I guess i'll take what i can get.

We have some fun activities planned for her. Some she knows about, and some she doesn't. She does know that we are going to dinner on Friday night (if the weather holds).........but i don't want to say too much else. I fear if i do, i will incriminate myself. Don't worry though, i'll post pictures later! </p><p>So until next time.........if i wait to long to blog again.......somebody yell at me!</p>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09627623693566534330noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718087.post-2012489412184477182008-01-30T19:18:00.000-08:002008-01-30T19:43:14.335-08:00The Good, The Bad and The I Love Album.........Wooooooh!
